Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the £1.5 billion increase in the UK's climate finance pledge will result in a reduction of spending on international humanitarian programming.

Many countries with the highest levels of humanitarian need are also among those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Our adaptation funding, including the £1.5 billion in 2025 announced at COP27, will include activities to prepare for and respond to climate-linked disasters and tackle food and water insecurity, helping to build the resilience of communities and reduce humanitarian needs over time.
